Tommy - Interior Designer and Graphic Designer
A recent graduate now working in the design world. I met him in a pub and we started talking about our design work. He gave me some useful tips.
He said to always show your work in a confident way. Don't be embarrassed or not show work as you don't know where these opportunities will lead you.
I need to make sure I always have an up to date portfolio on my phone to show and business cards or an easy and quick way to give my details out.
